You can try, but it will have to be closely supervised because of the age difference. I know folks graft hatches but pretty tricky to get them to take that far into it.I have six eggs in the bator, due to hatch Sept 17. They were under my broody for 2 weeks, but she hatched two chicks, so, it was time to dust it off! My plan for fostering is that the night after they hatch, I'll quickly get them under her. If they are a little bit cold, and she is nice and warm, they should stay under her, shouldn't they? She's a good mom, and I think she was expecting more than 2 chicks - she layed 18 eggs! My only concern is that her chicks are 10&11 days old, so she may not sit on them, although if they can follow her, she sits quite a bit in her pen. Any suggestions?
Stranger things have happened though, we had a hen leave her babies at 4 wks (actually about normal age, maybe a little early) Those babies were adopted by another broody hen who had a clutch that was just about 10 days old! Now in our situation the hens and chicks were all in the same coop, so the 'orphans' were chicks the other broody had seen. Was cute to see that group together though!
